GPIO Status Tab
The GPIO Status tab displays the following read-only information:
• The Card Status, Incoming ASI, Incoming SMPTE 310, and Outgoing 310 Null Rate
fields report the same information as described in the Alarm Status tab.
• The GPIO 1-8 fields indicate the state of the eight GPI/O outputs. The normal non-error
state of these GPI/Os is typically “low”; in this case, any that display “high” indicate a
currently existing error condition that you need to investigate.
Alarm Counters Tab
The Alarm Counters tab displays the following read-only information:
• The Card Status, Incoming ASI, Incoming SMPTE 310, and Outgoing 310 Null Rate
fields report the same information as described in the Alarm Status tab.
• The GPIO 1-8 fields indicate the state for each GPI/O that has an alarm condition
assigned to it, the number of times that the Alarm condition has occurred since the last
time the counters were reset. Since the GPI/Os are associated with error conditions, the
Alarm Counters tab provides a record of the number and types of errors that have
occurred over time. You can clear these counters by clicking the Alarm Counters Reset
button located on the Settings tab.
